NECKTIE-PACKAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 27, 1919.

Application filed December 21, 1918. Serial No. 267,754.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD ROGALL, of Brooklyn, NevvYork, and a citizen of the United States, have made Improvements in Necktie-Packages, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a shipping package for neckties, and more especially for four-in-hand or scarf ties, although it is adapted for. use with other articles.

The objects and advantages of the invention Will be set forth in part hereinafter and in part will be obvious herefrom or may be learned from practice with the invention.

The accompanying drawings, herein referred to and constituting a part hereof, illustrate one embodiment of the invention, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles thereof.

Of the drawings Figure 1 is a central vertical section through a box or package constructed in accordance with the invention, this view being somewhat diagrammatic in character;

Fig. 2 is an isometric perspective, with parts (lloroken away, of the package of Fig. 1; an

Fig. 3 is a development of the blank for the inner box or support of the package of Figs. 1 and 2.

Referring by way of example to the embodiment of the accompanying drawings, a shipping and storing package for neckties is provided which keeps the ties or other goods neatly and attractively arranged and stored and which requires no special or extra construction or arrangement of its parts for the display of the goods so as to make them attractive to a prospective or possible customer.

The invention provides a compact storing and shipping package with but little dead or waste space, while holding the goods securely and neatly, which may be termed selfdisplaying, in that there is no moving, foldingor fitting together of the, parts of the package in order to display the neckties.

Referring more particularly to the embodied construction, an external box is provided having a bottom 1 and sides 2, 3, 1 and 5, and a lid 6 fitting over the top of the box as a removable closure.

The lid 6 when the box is open may be slipped over the bottom 1, and is thus out of the Way and is still part of the package." The mere removal of the lid in opening the a shelf or elsewhere or to be put into a-case or crate for shipment.

Referring to the embodied form of means for supporting or holding the goods in position Within the exterior package which has already been described, a support is provided which is permanently held in a central position within the outer box, although it is preferably displaceable for manufacture, assembling or shipment of the box or package .prior to assembling, and for folding and fastoning the neckties in position when packing or packaging them.

Said supporting or holding device comprises a floor or deck 7 which is horizontally arranged substantially centrally of the exterior box or case, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The neckties 8 are folded over this, that is above it and below it, and the ties are also folded one over another, as shown in Fig. 2. The neckties substantially fill the entire available space vertically within the box and require no handling for display or otherwise until they are removed when sold to a customer, nor can they tumble or toss about in the outer box. At the same time they are attractively displayed and presented to the notice of possible customers. The neckties are held in place preferably by a band 9 passing thereabout.

The support 7 is held in position in suitable manner, and preferably by having its sides scored and bent to fit within the sides 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the outer box or case, and to rest upon the bottom 1. In Fig. 3 the blank is shown with the rectangular notches 10, 11, 12 and 13'cut out, and the lines 14, 15, 16 and 17 scored or otherwise prepared and bent to define the support 7 of size and form to fit within the outer box or casing 1, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The parts 18, 19, 20 and 21 fit snu ly within, and rest upon the bottom of, the box or casing 1, thereby supporting the floor or member 7 in permanent .position.

The fioor 7 is recessed at one end, as at 22, to permit the neckties to be folded over within the box Land incisions or openings 23 and 2d are provided for the passage of the band 9, which incisions or openings may or may not be continuous with the opening 22 through which the neckties are folded, as shown in Fig. 1.

It will be understood that changes may be made from the precise details shown and described within the scopeof the accompanying claim without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificin its chief advantages.

hat I claim is A package forv neckties including in combination, an external: box, a flat necktie supporting deck, means at the ends thereof and integral therewith for supporting said deck and forholding the same spaced away from as bottom of the deck ,said deck being cut out adjacent one end wall of the external box and intermediate the edges of the deck to receivea group of superposed ties folded on to. the upper and lower faces of the deck;
